    I don’t think it’s the protesting, but rather the target of the protests. For some reason Israel seems to be held in higher regard than any American interest. We can protest and shit talk our own terrible politicians all day long and nobody really bats an eye. But ask that we stop murdering innocent brown children in Gaza? Threaten economic consequences for Israel if they don’t stop the murder? For some reason that is a grave offense worthy of trampling on our first amendment rights.

    Think about how wild that is - speaking out against the atrocities a foreign government is committing is worthy of taking away your freedom in the US.

      The joy of a country run by religious loons that believe Israel will kickstart the Second Coming for them.

      Remember, everyone: they want Israel to start a serious war in the Middle East. Because that’s the first step in all the Jews dying and those old rich white Christians being raptured up to heaven.

      If anything, the only reason they don’t want it to start now is because they haven’t convinced all the Jews to go back to Israel yet.
